Artist's notes:

Reptiles were some of the first animals I started drawing. They were
also the first animals that I felt started getting noticed online, especially
turtles. The more reptiles I drew, the more people seemed to be interested
in the illustrations. As I became more involved with the community,
I started doing reptile shows (mostly with
http://www.upscalereptiles.com/
) in and around the Bay Area. My association with the
East Bay Vivarium
also encouraged me to draw more reptiles. At this time, I'm approaching
nearly 100 different reptiles! I try and complete as many different
snakes, chameleons, turtles, lizards and alligators as I can, but if
you'd like to suggest a species, I'd be glad to hear it.

Information about Reptiles:

Reptiles are vertebrates which are characterized by being air breathing,
laying eggs with shells, and being covered by scales or scutes. They cannot
regulate their blood temperature, and are often referred to as 'cold-blooded.'
In order to regulate their body temperature, reptiles must bask in the sun
or find another source of heat in order to become active. Also, if they
become too warm, they must retreat into a cool place to lower their body
temperature. Reptiles are found on all continents except Antarctica. With
the class Reptilia there are four orders: Crocodilia (crocodiles, gavials,
caimans, and alligators), Sphenodontia (tuataras from New Zealand), Squamata
(lizards, snakes, and worm lizards) and Testudines (turtles and tortoises)
Unlike amphibians, reptiles do not have an aquatic larval stage. Most reptiles
lay eggs, but some species do give birth to live offspring. There are more
than 6,500 different species of reptile alive today.
